The Six Pillars of DevSecOps Bundle

Release Date: 03/10/2025

DevOps enhances the management of information security, but its execution must be secured to avoid vulnerabilities like lax firewall rules or default credentials. DevSecOps integrates and automates security controls within DevOps, improving efficiency and effectiveness.

CSA’s Six Pillars of DevSecOps Series offers essential guidance, breaking down the six pillars of DevSecOps to help organizations implement secure practices. 

This download contains: 

  • Overview: Six Pillars of DevSecOps: This document explains what DevSecOps is, why it is needed in an organization, who needs to be involved, and common challenges to organizations.
  • Pillar 1: Collective Responsibility: One of the greatest challenges to embedding security in DevOps is changing the organization’s mindset, its ideas, customs, and behaviors about software security.
  • Pillar 2: Collaboration and Integration: There is a skill and talent gap across Development, Operations, and Security, requiring pan-organization collaboration to achieve success.
  • Pillar 3: Pragmatic Implementation: Every software lifecycle is different. Organizations must take a framework-agnostic approach to ensure security is built into the lifecycle and applications.
  • Pillar 4: Bridging Compliance and Development: Risk-related requirements must be translated into measurable security requirements and automated within the software lifecycle to improve compliance.
  • Pillar 5: Automation: Automated security practices are essential to increasing efficiency, reducing manual errors, and improving software quality through regular testing and feedback.
  • Pillar 6: Measure, Monitor, Report, and Action: Without actionable metrics, progress cannot be tracked, and failures cannot be identified, making continuous measurement and monitoring critical to success.
